MG MGB Technical - Blowing... New S/S Exhaust..agh....

Hi.. Just a Quik one for all you experienced practical guys out there !!!

The Story goes like this... My 1969 (1275) midget seemed to get noisy to the extent to which the wife refused to go in it ( Bliss !!!! ) so I had a quick look and did the Stuffin a Potato in the end of the exhaust to see if it was blowing.. ( I knew it was ) So i ordered a new S/S system from the owners club c/w fixing kit, new clamps n stuff... fitted it and now it seems to be blowing at the front manifold to downpipe bit...popping..... the noise is.. well im tempted to go buy som gum gum n try to seal it...., but the question is .. should it seal without ?? the system went on easily.. & clamped up with it not under any stress... the down pipe to manifold was held up tight while it was done up...

So... do i just "gob it up " or is there another way ???

Thanx in anticipation...
